🎉 Embracing the Metamorphosis 🐛

Welcome, my cosmic co-adventurers, to our inaugural issue of what promises to be a weekly spiral down the rabbit hole!

As we dive into the unchartered depths of this multi-dimensional universe, we'll explore mystical topics from channeling to magic, unfurling the layers of the unseen and extraordinary that dances around us. But don't be mistaken; this isn't your everyday newsletter. In the immortal words of our beloved Alice in Wonderland, 'We're all mad here.'

Yes, indeed, this is our secret Coven - a sanctum for those daring enough to embrace the 'madness' of the spiritual journey. Our weekly rendezvous will undoubtedly make the 'normal' folk question our sanity, but that's just part of the fun. After all, where's the thrill in playing it safe?

So, as your comrade in this delicious madness, I invite you to buckle up and join me as we embrace the surprises, the growth, and the mystical chaos of it all! Here's to our collective evolution, the wild, unexpected rides of life, and the audacious joy of those who dare to journey beyond the ordinary!

Each week, we'll tackle a theme or intention that's not just about me - it's a mirror of our collective evolution. Just last week, change and I had a staring contest - because guess what? I hit the big 4-0! My 20-year-old self would have spat out her sambuca shot if she'd imagined the journey we'd embark on! I wouldn't even have come close to guessing this reality. Life has a funny way of surprising us, doesn't it?

🎂 A Birthday Reflection 📝

You may have spotted my mysterious absence from the SHE Facebook group. As I delve deeper into this tangled web of spiritual life and business, I've learned one thing - change is a wild beast! Looking back at my 30s, it feels like I've been on an acid induced rollercoaster ride - motherhood, divorce, moving continents, changing jobs, entrepreneurship, failed relationships, reunions, purpose, new beginnings, tower moments, money magic, and oodles of chaos!

Channeling my inner Alice, I found myself falling down a metaphysical rabbit hole. The journey to 40 felt more like a space mission - where up is down and down is up!

🌀 The Rabbit Hole of Self-Discovery 🕳️

Last month, I was smacked with the existential zinger Alice faced in Wonderland - "Who are you?" Talk about an identity crisis! I realized I was becoming a stranger to myself, as change swiftly and ruthlessly took its toll. Brace yourselves, my friends - change is here and it's not messing around!

🦋 Embodying the Butterfly Effect 🌪️

Listen up! If you're reading this newsletter, you've signed up for a grade-A change this lifetime that would make chameleons green with envy. Your mission - if you choose to accept it - is to KNOW THYSELF! It's not a walk in the park, and it's definitely not for the faint-hearted.

To all you audacious spirits, your metamorphosis is about to rewrite the world's code. YOU are the living embodiment of the Butterfly Effect. You're here not to make ripples, but to create WAVES, the splash of which will be felt for generations.

🐛 From Cocoon to Flight 🦋

Confession time - like a caterpillar, I yearned for the cocoon of nothingness, wondering where the next decade would fling me. But like an overstuffed burrito, the discomfort made me bust out, spawning this newsletter and booting past fears into oblivion.

On our mystical journey, we all go through some serious metamorphosis. Five stages of sight represent unique steps in this trek:

🌱 Glimpsing: The call to adventure - Hello, rabbit hole!
🚶‍♀️ Closer examination: Choosing a path - Ok, let's do this!
🕵️‍♀️ Seeking: Following the path - I'm on my way!
💔 Loss of sight: Losing the path - Where'd that darn rabbit go?
🌟 Seeing: Merging with the path - Oh, I am the path!
 

Where are you hanging out these days?

💫 The Message for You This Week: Embrace the Change! 🌈

Buckle up Beaut, because change is going to be a wild, transformative ride! It's time to shake off that shell and strut your new, dazzling self. We've all snuggled up in the cozy cocoon, but now it's time to CHOOSE - the emerging butterfly or the old reliable caterpillar?

Get ready for a miracle birthed from change already in progress! The wheel of fortune spins in your favor, promising bucketful's of blessings. You might already be surfing the wave of this change. If so, grab that wave and ride it to your destiny! Those wings are going to look fabulous on you, so prepare for your soul's expansion as you shout "YES!" to new experiences and adventures!

🐛 Emerging from the Cocoon: Your Guide to Wonderland 🌼

Navigating the ever-evolving spiral of life, we often find ourselves face-to-face with the seemingly impenetrable walls of transformation. It's natural to feel lost or overwhelmed in these periods of intense change.

But remember, beautiful soul, it's in the cocoon where the caterpillar prepares for its ultimate metamorphosis. It's within these periods of deep introspection and discomfort that we truly find our strength, our courage, and our magnificent wings.

You might be finding yourself cocooned in a challenging situation right now. Maybe you're wrestling with uncertainty or wrestling with new, intense feelings and sensations. I get it. I've been there. And I'm here to remind you that you're not alone.

In these moments, remember that your cocoon isn't a prison, but a chrysalis of transformation, nurturing your soul until you're ready to break free.

So, here we are, you and I, staring down the rabbit hole of life together. What do we do when we're stuck in the gloom? Here are my no-bullshit, battle-tested strategies, raw and unfiltered:

🌸 Love First: I start by hitting pause on the inner critic. We all know that voice, the one saying we're frauds, weak, that we should be 'over this by now'. It's brutal. So, I envision that it's not me but my daughter, my baby girl, echoing these harsh words. That mental switch, from self to loved one, completely changes the game. I wouldn't dare berate her and I'd shower her in love, give her tools to cope, reassure her that she can't disappoint me. This mental exercise cools down my frustration and helps me find calm.

🔮 Divinize those Emotions: Each grump, each anxious churn in my stomach, is my body's internal compass telling me something's off. It's tempting to run from the discomfort, to ignore it or push it away. But, these emotions are soul gifts, little parcels of wisdom if we're brave enough to unpack them. Sure, I can wallow in self-pity sometimes before I start unwrapping these gifts, but hey, we're all human, right?

🏃‍♀️ Just Move: Ever feel like you want to pull a Snow White and sleep for a hundred years to avoid life? I've been there. But our bodies are designed to move. For me, running is a sanity saver, and a beach walk with my toes in the sand can completely shift my state. Sometimes I've even been known to do a handstand or star jumps just to shake things up!

🌬 Breathe Deeply: When anxiety ramps up, I take big, deep belly breaths. It's simple, it's free, and it pulls me into the present moment.

🤝 Go Social: When I'm in the hole, I can shut everyone out - even my closest loved ones. That's when I know I need to do the exact opposite. I force myself to get in the car, boot-bottle of wine in tow, and head to my best mate's veranda. The power of connection works wonders for the soul.

🌈 Play with Imagination: When I'm stuck in a pity party, visualization can be a game-changer. I imagine two scenarios: one, where I stay stuck, not facing my fears, and the other, the best-case scenario - if I jumped, faced those fears and achieved my dreams. I FEEL it, I write it, I use it to motivate me to climb out of the hole.

🎶 Drive and Turn Up the Tunes: After trying everything, when I'm still feeling down, a drive to nowhere and music is my go-to. I'll roll down the windows, feel the breeze on my face, and sing like nobody can hear.

📖 Force Myself to Journal: When I'm down, I can't manifest a way out, let alone write anything. But when I push myself to do it, holy shit, it's like uncorking a bottle - a flood of thoughts rush from my head onto the paper.

🙏 Pray: When the burden gets too heavy, I lean on prayer. I get on my knees, recite my Hail Mary's like my Nan taught me, and ask for a way out. And guess what? Without fail, a light always shines down. This is where faith comes in. I don't know when my prayers will be answered, but I'm 100% sure they will - it may take an hour, a few days or even a few weeks. But each time, without fail, that light shines down, and I begin to count my blessings. This unwavering faith is what keeps me going.

🦋 Serve Others: This is how I escaped suicidal tendencies and released chronic depression. Back in July 2019, I had almost given up - literally. But that's when I found my purpose in serving others. I spent months researching this because I couldn't believe how taking my attention off myself and my problems could actually beat severe mental illness and the dark night of the soul. And guess what? It's scientifically proven - when you help others, you connect to your truth. It's that connection that won't just help you crawl out of the cocoon but burn it down entirely. And when that happens, you rise like a phoenix, reborn from the ashes.

In this wild, mystical journey we're on together, always remember: we're transforming, metamorphosis is a process, and it's okay to take it one step at a time. Keep going, brave soul! Wonderland is waiting. 🌈

🌌 Astrological Almanac: Your Cosmic Dance Card

Put on your dancing shoes, Women! This week we're all tangoing with the transformative vibes of Gemini season, pulsating to the rhythm of the cosmos itself.

🌞 Sun in Gemini: While we're rolling out this newsletter, we're smack dab in the middle of Gemini season! It's like a cosmic coffee shot, sparking intellectual curiosity, social chit-chat, and yes, a healthy dose of duality. Remember, 'The Twins' symbolize Gemini, always urging us to welcome our whole selves - the light, the shadow, the calm, and the chaos.

⏹️ Sun Square Neptune (June 12 - June 26): As we usher in the week, the sun and Neptune are playing a tricky game of squares. Get ready for a burst of dreamy imagination but also brace for moments of "Wait, what was that?" confusion. Anchor yourself with meditation or a stroll in nature. Trust your gut, but be sure to look before you leap.

♂️ Mars Square Uranus (June 13 - July 10): A day before our launch, Mars throws a curveball at Uranus. Translation? Sudden changes, the kind that make you say "Shhhhitttt!" or unexpected kerfuffles. It might shake you up, but remember, change is just the universe's not-so-subtle nudge towards growth. So throw your arms wide open, get into your power stance, and embrace the shake-up!

🌑 New Moon in Gemini (June 18): As the week winds down, the Sun and Moon get cozy in Gemini, bringing about a zingy New Moon, ripe with the potential for fresh starts and "Aha!" moments. But beware! This New Moon's square with hazy Neptune might introduce moments of "Should I? Shouldn't I?" doubts and discomfort. As you feel the itch for change, prepare for a shower of innovative ideas...

 
So, in our cosmic tango, change is the lead dancer, always twirling us into the next move. Even if you want to resist, the universe doesn't miss a beat, always guiding us to shift, grow, and evolve. So this week, take a deep breath, feel the beat under your feet, and let the cosmic dance lead you on.

Be open, be curious, and never forget: On this wild dance floor, you've got partners. We're all doing the cha-cha with the cosmos together! 🌌
